Rough Joker Pics

[D!n0-M@n]

Sorry for the terrible pics. He's a work in progress I've been playing with for a while now. The dots in the eyes and the red around the mouth were for some old referencing only. I think I'll be changing his hair a bit and I'll be narrowing his cheeks and nose some. The pics unfortunately are causing a bit of a "fish-eye" effect. When I get more pics of him on the next round they'll be better... I promise! :grin:

[JediJaida]

Scary lookin'.

[blastphemey]

[Captain]

That has Golden Age Joker written all over it. Nice work!

[toys2cool]

looks good man :grin:

[D!n0-M@n]

Thanks everyone for the kind words! Much appreciated. He's gone through some changes since earlier today. :grin: He's looking much better I think. A bit more Silver Age now which was what I wanted to try to capture initially. I'll post more pics soon.

Thanks for lookin' and again for the kind words. :smiley12:

Looks good. Didn't realize you were so close. Always nice to have some more New Englanders on board.

[bgrimm77]

LOOKS GREAT ! another New Englander very nice......I spent a night or two at the pip after a rough night at the Palladium.........got lost in G.B.V. once too.......not fun

[The Bat]

Thanks for the kudos man!
Yeah, I've had a wild night or two at the Palladium myself. I'm now living only about 5 mins down the street from it... walking distance, which would be a really bad idea to repeat after the condition I was in the last time I went to a show there a couple of years ago... Worcester can be dangerous enough as it is without being totally blotto! :grin:
I hear they might be closing the pip too. They're not sure yet.

[D!n0-M@n]

Lookin' good Man! It has sort of a Bob Kane feel to Him!:yes:

Thanks Man! I find that a wicked cool compliment. Much appreciated.


Thanks again for all the kind words from all you guys. I can't wait to post more stuff... it's fun and very inspiring to get good (or bad which I'm sure I'll get some of too) feedback on the stuff I'm working on.
Till lata on... :smiley12:

[Meule]

Very nice, can't wait to see it finished

[thunderbolt]

Looking great so far.

[darklord1967]

Whoa!!!

Very, very nice Joker sculpt!!! That is gonna make one terrific custom figure someday! :clap:

[Dave Mc]

I like him! That's more what I think of when I think Joker. Nice work.

[YANOULI]

looks really good.

[D!n0-M@n]

Thanks everyone for the look and the motivation. It is really appreciated. I've been working away since the first pics were posted and he's coming together nicely. I'll be posting new pics as soon as I can.

Thanks again! :grin:

[D!n0-M@n]

Hey everybody. Some new and better pics of the Joker head I've been working on.

The old look...

And here are some new pics with the couple of changes I've made up to this point:
http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt355/redpriest77/Joker1.jpg
The neck still needs to be filled out...
http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt355/redpriest77/Joker5.jpg
You can see the different Sculpeys I've been using to do him. I had used some gray to do the first layer of hair awhile back and the Super Sculpey that I used for his ears. I've tried to use up a bunch of older left-over bits of Sculpey when ever possible... waste not, want not. :wink_y:
http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt355/redpriest77/Joker4.jpg
Still carving out the hair. More work to do around the eyes...wrinkles, the bags under the eyes need to be smoothed out a bit and wrinkled up, crow's feet, etc.

I'm undecided as to how I'm going to finish up the hair here in the back. The "spiked" thing is pretty cool, but I think I'm going to take some of it down at the the top so it is more rounded and the "spikes" will be more toward the bottom only.

So there ya have it for now. Till next time...
Tah Tah! :smiley12:

[Meule]

Very cool, I actually like the spikes

[darklord1967]

I am almost in TEARS over how awesome this sculpt is turning out.

This might very well turn out to be THE definitive 8-inch MEGO scaled Joker sculpt!

Incredible!!

[almitysufx]

this is such a nice sculpt. Its beautiful and cheesy and scary.... in other words " it is Joker!" I can't wait to see this finished and painted.

[spiderrogue]

cant wait to see him done

I would definately have the Spikes lower down the Neckline. But Dude...that Sculpt is coming out simply FANTASTIC!!!!!!!:yes:

[D!n0-M@n]

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say that the Joker is coming out really well. More pics are coming soon... I hope. Thanks to darklord1967's cool suggestions, the Joker's looking bad***!

I can't wait to finish this head! It's been a long time coming. Maybe if I weren't such a perfectionist it would have been done long ago. :smiley1: Oh well, at least it will be "perfect" when it's finished. :cool_y:
Thanks to all who've shown interest so far.

[M3G0M4V3R1CK]

very nice head deff a scary version of it

[darklord1967]

You just KNOW I'm sitting on pins and needles!!!

[Brazoo]

Holy crap! That sculpt is amazing! I can't wait to see it all done. That is EXACTLY what The Joker looks like when I think of him.





Not to stir up controversy, but it's possible Bob Kane never drew Joker and extremely unlikely that he drew him during the silver age.

[MegoMark71]

add one more who can't wait till it's all done. That sculpt is awesome man.

[D!n0-M@n]

Thanks guys! You guys rule! I really appreciate the kudos. But I do have to say this..... you ain't seen nothin' yet. :devil: :grin:

I'll try to finish it up ASAP.

:peace:

[boss]

that's fantastic. put me on the "want one" list.

[darklord1967]

Trust me, gang.

Dino and I have been corresponding a bit, and what he's got cooked up for a Joker sculpt is going to set the MEGO custom world on fire!!

I know I'm stoked!!

Say Dino, just a friendly reminder: Remember to make sure that the custom Joker head is a nice size.

I've seen a LOT of beautiful Joker sculpts and (disappointingly) so many of them are too small for 8 inch MEGO.

The Joker has a slightly warped cranium (somewhat large what with all that flowing hair and unusually long chin).

A correctly sized Joker sculpt for MEGO 8 inch figures should probably be about the same size as MEGO's original Joker sculpt. Certainly no smaller.

If you compare MEGO's original Joker sculpt with virtually any other 8 inch scaled MEGO male character sculpt (top of head to chin measurement), you'll note that the Joker is slightly larger.

[hawkmike]

very cool and looks like a cross between the dick sprang and the original actor from "the man who laughs" very well done.

[D!n0-M@n]

Hey y'all! He's comin'. Got a couple more pics for ya:

http://i627.photobucket.com/albums/tt355/redpriest77/IMG_0013-1.jpg

He's slowly getting there. I just wish I had some more time right now to finish him up. Not much longer I hope.
Thanks for peekin'.
Cheers!
Donovan

[thunderbolt]

Great work so far!!

[wyldpny]

Wow, he is looking totally amazing!!
Like others have said, that is also the Joker that comes to my mind as well.

[darklord1967]

Good God, Donovan!!

That is turning into a SERIOUS piece of business!! That head sculpt is SORELY needed in the customizing MEGO community!

[juanimal]

MY MAN!!! That is one fine ,evil, twisted joker!!!
Kuddos my friend, hope you finish and post some pics of the finished figure!!!:yes:

[Meule]

Absolutely loving it

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Really impressive...great stuff...can't wait to see him painted.

[boss]
